Saving Youtube videos

1) Go to YouTubia.com
2) I have an Ayaka vid here, [http://youtube.com/watch?v=nPM-XFu3bDQ]
3) Copy and paste into the textfield where you see a “Download” button next to it.
4) The downloaded file (getvideo) does not have a file format. To set the file format,
¬ Go to [My Computer] -> [Tools] -> [Folder Options ...]
¬ Hit on [View] tab, scroll until you find the line “Hide extensions for known file types”
¬ Uncheck the box
5) Now go back and rename the file include a “.FLV” extension (e.g. getvideo.FLV)
6) You can use VLC Player to view FLV formats, alternatively you can convert the FLV to some format you’re familiar with. SUPER © is free to download and use. Supports conversions to many file formats, what I personally did was to convert to .3gp and bluetooth the files over to my Sony Ericsson M2 1GB.
